Ingredients
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons honey, warmed in microwave for 20 seconds
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 8 slices bread (1/2 inch, day-old country loaf, brioche or challah)

- Dip bread into mixture, allow to soak for 30 seconds on each side, and then remove to a cooling rack that is sitting in a sheet pan, and allow to sit for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Over medium-low heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a 10-inch nonstick saute pan.
- Place 2 slices of bread at a time into the pan and cook until golden brown, approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- Remove from pan and place in oven on rack for 5 minutes.
- Repeat with all 8 slices. Serve immediately with maple syrup, whipped cream or fruit.
